Drum Machines

[Bill]

Hi Everyone,

This past week, I have been looking into possibly purchasing a drum machine to expand my playing with different rhythms, composing and to practice playing in a band context (without the band). So far, it looks like the Boss DR-880 is one that has many of the qualities that I am looking for, but it seems to have been on the market for a number of years without being updated.

Does anyone have any experience with this drum machine or others, have recommendations or other options? I am more interested in acoustic sounding drums than a more techno based machine and certainly a machine that either has shuffle rhythms or can have them programmed into the machine.

Thanks for any response.

All the best.

Bill

I snagged my used ALESIS SR-16 drum machine off ebay for $40.00. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!
